Kristin Grußmayer is an assistant professor in the Department of Bionanoscience at TU Delft and a member of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience. She studied Physics at Heidelberg University with a specialization in Biophysics. As a Heidelberg-Cornell fellow under the Fulbright program, she spent a year at Cornell University. Kristin conducted her doctoral thesis at the Institute for Physical Chemistry and the CellNetworks Cluster of Excellence at the BioQuant Center in Heidelberg, during which she was a fellow in the DFG Graduate College GRK 1114. Her doctoral research focused on developing DNA biosensors using transcription factors and established methodologies for molecule counting based on photon statistics within biological systems and materials science. After obtaining her PhD in Physics (summa cum laude), she undertook postdoctoral research at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) as a Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow, where she became an expert in multiplane super-resolution quantitative phase imaging, collaborating with neurobiologists. In 2021, she established her independent research group at TU Delft, focusing on developing microscopy analysis tools and new classes of fluorescence probes to address significant questions in molecular cell biology.
